Floor Protector

Your wood stove should be placed on a non-combustible surface with a R value of 1.0. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The floor protector should be under the stove, eighteen inches beyond the front and eight inches beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash removal opening. If there is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the floor protector should go under it and two inches beyond each side

Convert specification to R-value:

k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T

C-factor is given: R=1/C

Example:

If the floor protector is 4" brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" mineral board with a “k” factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:

4" brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8

1/8" mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431 Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231 Total R is greater than 1.0, the system is acceptable.

The floor protector should exceed the stove as follows:

FRONT	SIDES	REAR
18”	8”	8”
(460 mm)	(200 mm)	(200 mm)
